Product DescriptionThese days, the daily flight from Moscow to New York City carries a few American families with Russian children--all with pasty complexions and brand new, ill fitting American clothing. Russian law allows foreign nationals to adopt Russian orphans. But there is a catch: only children with birth defects and incurable medical conditions can be adopted. In some cases, the problems are minor and readily treatable, but some children are diagnosed with vague ailments, developmental delays that are hard to quantify, though they do make the children available for adoption. Does the child truly have a problem, or are such developmental delays usual for a child raised in an orphanage? Perhaps the diagnosis is a well-intentioned lie, in hopes that the child will have a far better life in the US than an orphan's fate in today's Russia? Or maybe it is a callous device used by local officials to keep the lucrative adoption business going? Four-year-old Olya has lived in a Children's Home all her life. We learn that she was an 'unplanned' child, and that she was placed in the Home at birth. Born prematurely, Olya has been diagnosed with a vague developmental disability. We watch her playing with the other children and meet her favorite caregiver, whom she calls 'Grandma.' Though little Olya has no idea of the changes ahead, the adults around her are both happy and fearful. 'We've never had a child go so far away,' says one caregiver. She turns to a group of children, tears streaming down her cheeks, 'I'm crying from joy, children, I'm glad, really.' Olya's new parents Sam and Meredith arrive, excited and exhausted. Chelyabinsk is a remote place, and the two Californians stand out in their bright T-shirts and shorts. Olya is shy of these strange adults, and even a pretty new dress can't quite draw her out. The adoption goes as planned, and we learn about the process: the donation made to the orphanage seems to end up in the pockets of local officials, and Sam and Meredith are sternly told that Olya's original birth certificate will be destroyed. A new birth certificate is issued, and Sam and Meredith laugh: according to the document, they had a baby in Chelyabinsk four years ago. The day comes for Olya to leave with her new family, and Sam, all but crying himself, carries a tearful Olya out to a waiting car. Her playmates and caregivers wave good-bye from the windows of the Children's Home. A year later, we visit Olya's birthday party in California. Does she have a developmental disability? Her mom thinks not: 'Most of the time these kids are given labels just to get them out of the country.' Olya's dad agrees: 'She was just a shy, quiet child. And I thought, 'Gee, we'd love to have a quiet child.' So we got another one that loves to talk!'

Product DescriptionInterviews from Russia was filmed in Volgograd and Alexandrov. People from various walks of life talk about their families, businesses, and work. An old man tells us about the mushrooms he picked in the woods: 'These are for me only; they are not for sale, they re just too good for that.' A young factory worker shares his frustration: 'I ll never be able to buy an apartment, not even an apartment to share with another family.' An owner of a grocery store proudly shows her store, and later her own little swimming pool, the first one in town. A former policeman, now owner and manager of a candy store, tells us, 'Yes, we have racketeers, but they don t come here.' By Slawomir Grunberg and Slava Paperno.

Product DescriptionThree atomic accidents and fifty years of nuclear waste dumping have turned the Techa River into a toxic waste dump. Few of the villages along the river were ever evacuated by the Soviet government. Chelyabinsk-40, an atomic weapons factory, was a top secret installation, and both its accidents, and the lethal effects on the local ecology were a closely guarded secret, even from the people most affected by it. Everyone noticed that people were dying of cancer in their forties and that birth defects were rampant, but no one knew why. Now that the truth is out, how are these villagers coping? "Everything was top secret, no one knew anything, that's how it was," says a high-ranking administrator. "Where can we go? This is where my father lived. This is where my grandfather lived. Our roots are here," says a resident. By Slawomir Grunberg and Slava Paperno. Printable transcript in Acrobat format is available for free download from the publisher's Web site.

Product DescriptionModern Russian Culture is an audio-visual, multi-disciplinary course of thirty-eight lectures on modern Russian culture (from the eighteenth century to our time) presented in a series of Video DVDs and one Reference Disc (DVD-ROM) with high quality photographic images, CD-quality music and narration, and hypertext-linked notes. Almost 1000 high resolution images are included. In this audio-visual course you will be taken on a journey from the high culture of Moscow and Petersburg architecture to the everyday culture of Soviet Russia to Russia as it was seen by great Russian artists and back down again to the everyday reality of Russia in the 1990s when it was transformed by the democratic movement. The narrated slide-show lectures are divided into five thematic units: Disc One: Moscow
Disc Two: Petersburg
Dics Three: Soviet Russia
Disc Four: Russia in Art
Disc Five: Russia in Transition As any standard video DVD, these five discs can be used in any DVD player (or computer with a DVD drive and software). Just sit back and watch the show! On the Reference DVD-ROM (to be used on a Windows or Macintosh computer), the same thirty-eight lectures are presented as an interactive multimedia title. Each lecture offers 25 to 30 images with informational captions and a note which is intended to be both specific (what the work of art or architecture is) and elaborative (what the work's significance or historical-cultural context are). The slide notes are linked to a collection of supporting texts--brief biographies of Russian rulers, artists, and architects; explanations of historical and cultural background; a bibliography of recommended reading; and an alphabetical index of buildings, monuments, and paintings presented in the course. Each disc (including the Reference DVD-ROM) is also available separately (search Amazon.com). All texts are in English, with Russian equivalents provided on the Reference DVD-ROM for the names of monuments and buildings, titles of paintings, and names of the artists and architects. Conceived, photographed, written, and narrated by Lauren G. Leighton. Produced by Slava Paperno.
